Apparatus for connecting drilling components between rig and riser

An apparatus for connecting rig lines on a floating rig to a riser, the rig lines belonging to a managed pressure drilling (MPD) system and a kill-choke system on the floating rig, the rig lines including a first MPD flow line in communication with the MPD system and including a first kill-choke flow line in communication with the kill-choke system, the riser having an internal passage, the apparatus comprising:

• a riser manifold disposed on the riser and comprising:
• a first mechanical connector disposed thereon, a first flow coupling for conducting a first MPD flow of the MPD system, and a second flow coupling for conducting a first kill-choke flow of the kill-choke system;
• and
• a rig manifold being configured to be removably positioned adjacent to the riser manifold, the rig manifold comprising:
• a second mechanical connector disposed thereon, a third flow coupling disposed in flow communication with the first MPD flow line for conducting the first MPD flow, and a fourth flow coupling disposed in flow communication with the first kill-choke flow line for conducting the first kill-choke flow,
• the first and second mechanical connectors configured to mechanically connect together, the third flow coupling configured to mate in a first MPD flow connection with the first flow coupling for conducting the first MPD flow, the fourth flow coupling configured to mate in a first kill-choke flow connection with the second flow coupling for conducting the first kill-choke flow.
